Last day of 2023.
Highlights of the year for me:
$15k raise between pay and increase in benefits.
Have a new title at work that carries a weird amount of respect from other people even though my actual job isn't any different.
Had someone commission a story from me. (Paid me more for one story than I made from selling the stories below, lol.)
Biopsy came back negative for cancer.
Sold some stories.
Planted the seeds to start a podcast with the hope of having the first one ready sometime in March.
Gained some friends I never expected to have.
Lost 80 lbs since February.
Wishing everyone a Good 2024.

that's all great stuff!
I still haven't even filmed my planned video for my youtube answering questions. Not even sure if I'll get around to it :/

I have bought the kindle version of your second book. (Will buy the proper version once I get the final medical bills from the biopsy, lol. I've kinda been panicking about how much of the 7k bill I'm gonna be on the hook for. Insurance claims 20% but... it seems completely fucking random given past bills I've gotten. I'm hoping it's one of the ones that fall well short of that 20%. Woulda been nice if the whole process didn't take 3 different appointments with a bill for each. Already paid $600 for the two appointments before the actual procedure and the procedure is the highest initial billing amount.) I have not had time to read it yet. And I still have to read the last half of the first one. It's been a ridiculously busy couple of years for me. Most reading time I've gotten in the past two years was during jury duty... Not happy about that.DancesWithWerewolves wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 2:35 am that's all great stuff!

Part of the podcast is forcing time to read and review books/stories and hopefully have some casual conversational interviews with authors. (With a lean toward Erotica currently, but that might change as I develop the idea a little further.)

That's sweet. I made enough in royalties from the book release to get myself a Venti Frap at Starbucks! :pDream wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 3:07 amI have bought the kindle version of your second book.

I mostly fear recording right now because I have neighbors that got themselves new soundbars with gigantic subwoofers, so I could be screwed from even trying with the idea.
Wish I could move, but moving costs money, and everywhere else costs even more than where I am.
